Lightfield Ammunition Corporation specializes in manufacturing the hardest hitting, most accurate saboted slugs available to today's hunters for use in their rifled shotgun barrels, even at extended ranges. During that all-important split second immediately after a slug is fired and prior to its exiting the barrel, maximum spin is imparted to the locked sabot/slug assembly. Once a Lightfield Hybred® EXP Sabot Slug Shotshell clears the muzzle the design produces incredible projectile stability through both the supersonic and especially the subsonic phases of the slug's flight. Maximized projectile spin rate and flight stability are the most important factors when incomparable consistency and accuracy are the goals. 5 rounds per box.

Awesome
I shoot these out of my 20 gauge mossberg they will go 100 yard with plenty of power. my dad shoots them out of his 12 gauge mossberg and hit the target at 200 yards. Talk about some power

Good Sabot
I use these in ohio with my mossberg 500 12ga. I dropped a doe from 75 yards this year. all she did was kicked and that was it. I have only shot lightfields with my 500 and they havent failed me.

Poor grouping and expansion
Shells were just plain horrible. No expansion and pricy for me. Group was 8 inches at 50 yards.

The 20ga certainly has enough power to kill deer or bear out to 100 yards. The Lightfield slugs are excellent but should only be used in a rifled barrel. That's where they get their accuracy from. I don't reccomend a full choke for any type of slug.

Using a rifled barrel for whitetail deer, yes. I wouldn't recommend using a smooth bore or choked barrel with this slug. This is a sabot slug and won't act like a rifled slug would in a smooth bore. It is a great slug for rifled barrels though. I know that it will take down deer in 20 gauge. I don't really know about bears though. I would say that you could kill a bear with their 20 gauge slugs, but I would personally want to use a 12 gauge if I were going to try to kill a bear with it.

Lightfield would suggest that you only use 2 3/4 in slugs in guns chambered in 2 3/4 or 3 inches. The reasoning is that there is enough gap between the end of the shell and where the chamber necks down to the barrel on a 3 1/2 chamber using a 2 3/4 in sabot slug that the sabot could be push out and separate from the slug, possibly causing pressure issues. From My understanding lightfield is the only manufacturer warning of this possibility. They are also one of the few manufacturers making sabots in 3 - 3 1/2 inches. I think they recommend using the 3 1/2 in slug (or at least the 3 in) in 3 1/2 in chambers. I have never heard of anyone having any problems with this issue. I talked to someone associated with lightfield and they said that they had seen some guns that have erratic patterns with undersized slugs.

I have personally used 2 3/4 in lighfield slugs in my 3 1/2 in chambered Mossberg 835 Ultimag 12 gauge with rifled barrels for years and not seen any issues myself. Accuracy is great. I wouldn't use it with a smooth bore though as sabot slugs are made for rifled barrels. And if Lightfields warnings worry you then just play it safe and use a 3 1/2 in slug with a 3 1/2 in barrel.

You will have to experiment with the old "Foster" style slugs to find out which one your gun likes. The Remington Slugger, Winchester rifled slug or the Brenneke rifled slug would be a great place to start.
